18. Menopause in the workplace with Bev Thorogood


Listen Later

Menopausal women are demographically, the fastest growing group of workers in the UK, and they’re often at the height of their career when perimenopause hits them.

Despite it being a natural life process for women, the menopause, and how it can affect you at work, is rarely discussed despite the  potential consequences for both employees and employers.

The majority of women don’t feel comfortable talking about their symptoms with their managers but by talking about it openly, raising awareness and putting the right support in place, perhaps we can get to a point where menopause is no longer an issue in the workplace at all!

This is where today’s guest can really help!

Owner and founder of Floresco Training and Coaching, Bev Thorogood offers Menopause Awareness Training in the workplace, providing managers and colleagues with the knowledge and skills to talk positively, productively and confidently about this often taboo subject.

If you are an employee, coping with menopause, or a Manager who wants to support your female staff and create a culture of inclusivity, this podcast is for you.

I am really happy to be covering this important subject for the second time on QueenBee Talks and I’m so pleased to have another fantastic and knowledgable guest talking to me today!

Bev is a member of the British Menopause Society and has worked with other menopause organisations including Henpicked – Menopause in the Workplace.
